Different Types of Pressure Groups

Cause or Promotional Pressure Groups These groups act not out of economical self-benefit but for a particular cause that they feel is important to them: animal rights, the environment, starving children etc. Examples: Anomalies The Countryside Alliance, a pressure group that is trying to legalise fox hunting in the countryside, can be thought of as being both a cause group - because it uses justifications like farmers' losing their livestock - and sectional, because it is catering to a particular section of society - those who live in the countryside. Then again, the latter statement could be challenged because although the law would mostly affect people who live in the countryside, a law legalising foxes would affect the entire country - not just a section. 3. These are groups that try and change something locally – preventing the destruction of a local natural beauty or the removal of a local children’s hospital. 4. 5. 6.

So it helps to understand what is an emotion, what is a feeling, we need to understand what is an emotion. And the emotion is the execution of a very complex program of actions. Some actions that are actually movements, like movement that you can do, change your face for example, in fear, or movements that are internal, that happen in your heart or in your gut, and movements that are actually not muscular movements, but rather, releases of molecules. And an emotion consists of a very well orchestrated set of alterations in the body that has, as a general purpose, making life more survivable by taking care of a danger, of taking care of an opportunity, either/or, or something in between.

In sexual politics the view of women as either Madonnas or whores limits women's sexual expression, offering two mutually exclusive ways to construct a sexual identity.[4] The term is also used popularly, often with subtly different meanings.

Madonna–whore complex

Causes[edit] Freud argued that the Madonna–whore complex is caused by oedipal castration fears which arise when a man experiences the affection he once felt for his mother with women he now sexually desires. In order to manage this anxiety, the man categorizes women into two groups: women he can admire and women he finds sexually attractive. Whereas the man loves women in the former category, he despises and devalues the latter group.[5] Psychoanalyst Richard Tuch suggests that Freud offered at least one alternative explanation for the Madonna–whore complex: According to Freudian psychology, this complex often develops when the sufferer is raised by a cold and distant mother.
